Brace Yourselves, The Fug is Strong in These New Photos (Updated)

I don't have a name for this new top yet but I really don't need to know it. Just box it back up and send to the outlet. Shown with new Departure Pants. Does anyone know what the Departure pants are made of - Luxtreme, Luon, or Swift?

Update - the pullover is the Departure Softshell we saw in last week's Britt's Picks. OMG. Why are students designing the &Go line?

Here is the same top from the front. It's not bad but it's not that great, either.

I'm not getting why the En Route jacket is back. Was anyone asking for it again? Shown with the Yogi Racerback.

More Departure Pant photos. Shown with a new Bordeaux Here to There tank.

Trifecta of the not-so-awesome - Departure Pant, En Route Jacket, and Here to There Tank.

The rest of the photos are non-fug. The Go the Distance shorts aren't the most flattering but I assume they are meant to compete with the diaper-butt Nike Tempo shorts that tons of people swear by.

Shown with the Mauvelous stripe Race Your Pace half zip.

The Coco Pique Stride has hit stores. I don't really mind the black sleeves on this but I know a lot of people prefer a solid pique jacket.

I tried the Go the Distance shorts in a 6 which I always wear in everything from shorts to wunder unders to pace tights and they were awful. I sized down to a 4 and they were good, but not so great that I wanted to spend $50+ on them. If they go on markdown I will scoop a pair up. My reasoning is I really like having a liner in my shorts so the same price yet no liner - I can wait for a sale.

Your headline is hilarious. I am itching to buy something and can't find anything droolworthy at lulu -- and this IS the best time of year for new buys. Oh well at least I am correcting for past sins of indulgence

@ anon 12:39 pm - I have the itch, too, and it's frustrating not to see anything worthy to get. I am hoping there is a Bumble Berry LS Swiftly coming. Or that Rust Berry Run for Gold Half Zip is uploaded this week.

I have an En Route jacket from last year and it may be one of my most worn lulu items ever. It's awesome and really cute, I got complimented on it nearly every time I wore it. It's very warm even though it doesn't seem that it would be. It was my staple jacket for the NYC winter.

About Me

For 18 years I was an electrical engineer working in communications satellite system engineering. I've worked at Boeing, Booz, Allen & Hamilton, and General Electric. For the past ten years I've been a stay at home mom who keeps busy volunteering in my community and chauffeuring my three children to their activities. I live in Orange County, California.

The inaugural Sea Wheeze inspired me to take up running two years ago. I have completed ten half marathons and have three more scheduled for 2015. I mostly run these days but also go to the gym ~3-4 days a week for spin class, weight lifting, and cardio.

I discovered Lululemon six years ago and really liked the fit and performance of the clothes. I do check out other brands so if you would like me to review your product please contact me.
